This comprehensive yet practical book provides professionals working with secondary students with SEN with a framework to develop their everyday practice in building students’ emotional resilience and strengthening their mental health. It offers strategies for whole-school emotional wellbeing provision as well as customisable intervention plans to be used in small groups and with individuals on a one-to-one basis.

Its user-friendly content is informed by contemporary national policies and recommendations and provides a theoretical background to support practical copiable activities and worksheets that will guide practitioners’ work.

This book is essential for practitioners working directly with secondary students with SEN as well as those who work in partnership with secondary school settings and their students. It is also invaluable to the families of young people with SEN who are looking for ideas on how best to support their child’s emotional wellbeing.
